Mapping the Movement is an internal project to chart the growth of the Jesus Youth movement in nearly 25 countries around the world

From it’s humble beginnings in Kerala, India in the early 80's, the Jesus Youth movement has come a long way. By the grace of God and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the movement has spread and grown in ways unimagined by its pioneering members. Today Jesus Youth is a global presence with groups and activitives in nearly 25 countries around the world.

During the Year of Jubilee everyone shall return home to his original family possession. Lev. 25:13. Last month, Alpha Pastoral Centre, Edakochi, South India became the venue for a gathering with a difference.

Intercession and prayer around the cross will be organised in each country having JY presence

Soil from 18 different countries with active Jesus Youth presence was blessed during the International Assembly. Throughout the Jubilee year, wooden crosses with small phials containing this blessed soil will travel across sections of each country having JY presence. Intercession and prayer around the cross will be organised at each stopover. All these crosses from different countries will be brought to India for the mega Jubilee conference to be held in December 2010.
